THE COTTON CROP.

The Yield for 1885 is 6,46O,OOO Bales.
Price of sced-Oua,ity of Product.
WASHINGTON, Feb. l0.-The final re-
port of the cotton crop of 1856 shows the
average date CT closing the picking
season, the proportion of the crop
marketed on February l, the quality of the
staple, the price of seed and the estimated
production compared with that of 1885.
The close Of picking is reported the same
as last year in the Carolinas and Texas,
one day earlier in Mississippi, two days
later in Georgia and Louisiana, four days
in Tennessee and twenty-one days in
Arkansas. The dates are: North Carolina,
December ?; South Carolina, November
so; Georgia, December l; Florida, No
vember 81; Alabama, December >;
Mississippi, December 8; Louisiana,
December y; Texas, Deem
Der 81 Arkansas, December %;
Tennessee, December 10. The late ma
turing of the crop extended the season
slightly in few states. In Arkansas the
season was heightened by inability to
pick the heavy harvest earlier. Returns
of the proportion marketed made the
average to February l. 1885, per cent.
At that date above 100000 bales had
gone from the plantations. This would
indicate crop Of about 6, AGO, 900 bales, a
mere trife above the November indics-
tons. or the rate of yield, the pro-
portion by states is as follows: North
Carolina, 81; South Carolina, Ss; Geor-
LA, So; Florida, So; Alabama, 81 Mis-
sissippi, 81; Louisiana, S.; Texas, Sc;
Arkansas, 81; Tennessee, SO. The quality
of the crop is superior. Rarely If
ever have the returns of clesnness
and cotton combined with the length of
staple equaled these just received. The
price of seed is low. Complaint is made
of the combinations of oil millers to re-
duce prices. Renters will sell at any
price, sometimes as low as 5@sc per
bushel, but the best planters refuse, to
sell. The average in Mississippi and
Louisiana is 10 cents, II in Ar

An Interesting Prize Drill and Ball Under
Military Auspices.
The prize drill aud hop OF the Fenci5les
at Huffman hail last evening" was most
enjoyable treat TO the friends of the CON-
pary who honored the boys with their
presence. The drilling throughout ex-
hibited d decided Improvement Of
the team, and gave evidence OF
q bright future for cur young
militia organization. The manual
was executed with splendid cadence, aud
the wheelings would do credit to a much
older company. One OF the most difficult
and strictly Panther movement, was the
circle, which resembled very much the
zouave drilling. The contest for the
Fred l. King gold medal elected much
interest, and it took many command to
reduce the competitors, which was finally
done, leaving Privstes Cartwright
and Ellis, who stood up for quite
a while without an error, but Cartwright
came out victorious. Mr.. 1rby Dunklin
then came forward and in few well
selected remarks of encouragement to the
company awarded nhe medals, one fall
ing to Private Slaughter, who made the
highest score at the last target match for
the Dan Carey gold medal.
The evenings entertainment closed
with dancing, and all departed IN the nap

tanned by Fort Worth's soldier boys.

THE PENITETIARY FOR LIFE.
Verdict of the Jury in the Frank Scott
Murder Case.

special TO the Gazette.
SAN ANTONIO, TEX Feb. 10. - The
Frank Scott murder case, which has
monopolized the attention of the Dis
trict court for nearly two weeks past,
came to an end this afternoon. The jury
returned a verdict that Frank Scott was
guilty Of murder il the first degree as
charged in the Indictment, and assessed
the penalty at confinement in the pen
itentiary for the term OF his natural life.
On hearing the verdict the attorneys
for the defense asked that the jury be
polied, which was done, and each member
declared in firm and distinct voice that
such was his verdict. The jury were not
over an hour making their verdict. As
has been the case during the entire trial
the young prisoner maintained the ut
most Indifference while his fearful doom
was being announced, and on leaving the
courtroom he wore q broad smile on
his features. He doubtless considers
he was fortunate to come eff
with q whole neck. The contrast
between the actions of Frank Scott and
the actions OF mis- mother aN sister was
very great. While he went laughing from
the courtroom to his felon's cell, man
acled and guarded, Mrs. Scott and her
daughters were in deep and painful dis
tress, crying as though their hearts would
break. There were many who expressed
sympathy for the ladies, but there was
none for Frank. The general opinion was
that he had received just reward for one
OF the foulest and most brutal crimes
ever committed in Bexar county. Thus
has the prediction OF Mr.. G. Anderson
unexpectedly come true. He once told
one of the Robbers Cave gang that they
were standing over precipice as deep
and dark as hell itself, and that if they did
not keep their mouths shut they would
come to the gallows. yes" said one Of
the spectators Yesterday, "the mills of the
gods grind slowly, but they grind exceed
ing small. Franks crime has been
averaged and another of the Gcsilng
plotters has gone where he rishtiully
deserves"

A Bows Undertaking,

There arrived in the city last night 8
boy under twelve years years of age, 8
bright-eyed, intelligent little fellow, who
was trying to make his way to ST. Louis
to Join his mother. He came in on the
east bound Texas and Pacific tram, and
didG' have cent of money, nor did he
know q soul in Fort Worth. United
States Deputy Marshal Nc
Bride in some way found
out his condition, and pointed him out to
d GAZETTE man, to whom he told the fol-
lowing story: "My name is Willie Wat
kIns. My mqther's name is Mrs. Mollie
+. Watkins. : left st. Louis about three
years ago and have been living with my
uncle at Weatherford since then. He
threatened to whip me yesterday evening
and | concluded 10 90 hack to St.
Louis aud live with my mother.
1 walked as far, as Aledo, eleven miles
this side of Westnerford, and waited
twere fer the train. Twas pretty tired,
too. The conductor brought me here
free"
The spunky little fellow when ques-
toned said he had 70 idea how he was
gong to get to his destination, but
thought that may be the conductors
might take him on. A kind hearted
gentleman took charge of the youngster
for the night, and will doubtless help
him to reach his mother.

Execution by Proxy in China.
san Francisco Call.

There is one almost incredible thing
which will give fair idea of how the
Chinese regard the death penalty. 1t is
an actual fact that in some cases substi-
tuition can DE instituted and substitute
can be readily found. Money here will
make men risk almost certain death, but
1t is to be doubted whether Vanderbilt
had millions enough to secure man to
stand for harging in cold blood. Any
one acquainted with the ways and GUS
toms of China will, however, testify that
$50 will, ct any time, and in numbers, Sc
cure men to step up beneath the execu-
toner's sword and die.
